Job summary

Murata in Waltham, MA is seeking a Senior Mixed-Signal PMIC Validation Engineer to drive pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation of power management ICs for wireless infrastructure. You will develop testbenches, create behavioral models, and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

The role involves hands-on lab work, data analysis, and automation using Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW, with opportunities to grow into full-chip ownership across analog, digital, firmware, and product

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience in analog mixed-signal verification, post-silicon validation, characterization, applications engineering, product engineering, or mixed-signal hardware development.
• Strong understanding of power electronics, analog mixed-signal, and feedback-control fundamentals.
• Experience with circuit simulation, mixed-signal testbenches, and verification methodologies.
• Proficiency with Verilog, SystemVerilog, Verilog-AMS, Verilog-A, real-number modeling, or similar behavioral modeling techniques.
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, signal generators, precision meters, and related laboratory equipment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation plans for mixed-signal power management ICs.
• Create and maintain analog mixed-signal testbenches for block-, subsystem-, and top-level verification.
• Develop and use behavioral models, including Verilog-A and real-number models, to support efficient mixed-signal simulation.
• Assist in silicon bring-up, functional validation, and electrical characterization.
• Assist in automating simulations, laboratory measurements, regression testing, and data analysis using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar tools.
• Correlate simulation results and behavioral models with bench measurements, specifications, and production test data.
• Investigate design, silicon, board, firmware, and measurement issues through structured root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with analog, digital, verification, firmware, systems, applications, test, quality, and product engineering teams.
• Contribute to reusable verification environments, validation infrastructure, coverage improvement, and product readiness reviews.
